Some us have to wonder why New York,Los Angeles and Chicago. Why not Dallas, and Atlanta? For a terrorist what would they do? This my theory. The big apple, city of angles and the windy city all have to most restrictive gun control laws were a law abiding person has a problem obtaining a firearm by legal means. Not to mention London were the country back in the 1990s severely infringed on gun rights of its people. Could a person with a concealed weapon stop the train bombings in London? We will never know.
Now to New York city. Will all the terror threats about hitting the subway to the financial district and the transit system. Mayor Bloomberg can put all the cops of NYPD out 24/7 and still can not be everywhere at once. The big Apple has one of the most restrictive gun laws. A law abiding person has a impossible chance of obtaining a permit owning a firearm in New York city. It is easier to go to the Bronx to a dealer on the streets than go thru the red tape.
I believe a it would make a difference if the city issued concealed and carry permits to privet citizens were they can take them on the trains and around the city. The police only have two eyes and with 911 calling in suspicious activity may not be enough. It may be too late if response is slow. So why not put homeland security in the hands of the people? For the right for people the to defend themselves is a God given that should not be infringed upon. If New York gets hit. An attack could be averted if a person(s)with concealed weapon permits be allowed. Liberalism has so made it that the average New Yorker believe they can not trust themselves with firearms which is a shame. So consider this If Al quaida,Hamas, Hezbolla ,or Islamic Jihad want to target a city. Consider one of the factors is that the people are disarmed in New York,LA and Chicago Thats what Bin Laden is maybe counting on. An unarmed population
So next time The federal government distribute money to major cities for homeland security. Make it a criteria that these cities drop there gun control laws and allow law abibing people to carry a gun. In the future it would not suprise me if a major attack is stopped not by the police or the FBI but a citizen exercising his second amendmant right.
